Household Toxics Disposal

Your trash matters! The mercury in just a few batteries, CFLs and old thermometers can contaminate millions of gallons of Bay water. These items and others, like medicines, electronics (e-waste), and motor oil cannot legally go in your trash or recycling bin, but there are places to recycle them near you.
